This has already been discussed on the list. If you want to use HTTPS, for
now, you have to replace the twimg host with the amazonaws host.

Alex,

Thanks for your email. Its a known issue with the migration to
twimg.com. We recommend while we fix the issue that you transform the
url to https://s3.amazonaws.com/twitter_production/profile_images/###/###.jpg,
the same url's we use if you browse the site via HTTPS.

Best, Ryan
